...three-year-old Hague tribunal is hampered by a shortage of funds and staff. Watertight legal cases are difficult to construct, and no one has uncovered the kind of paperwork that helped convict Nazi offenders at Nuremberg. Most of the suspects remain safe from arrest at home, and NATO's Implementation Force in Bosnia is resolute against mission creep that might ask its soldiers to hunt them down. "Oh, we hope for justice," says Alija Dedajic, a survivor of Sarajevo, "but we do not believe...

Named Germany's war-production czar in 1942, Speer ran the munitions factories where hundreds of thousands of slave laborers died of overwork and malnutrition. To many skeptics, his protestations at Nuremberg and in his best-selling memoirs (Inside the Third Reich, The Secret Diaries) smack of deep denial and cover...
...criminal counts. Now the family's seven-year legal ordeal is the subject of Indictment: The McMartin Trial, a gripping-though excessively pious-TV movie that will make its debut May 20 on hbo. Conceived and scripted by veteran screenwriter Abby Mann (Judgment at Nuremberg, The Atlanta Child Murders) and his wife Myra, the film feverishly aims to convince any doubters that the McMartins were the victims of a terrible injustice...
